VM host Only

[aluminex () gmail com]

I was wondering how vulnerable are virtual machines that are in a "host-only" setup?  The host os can communicate to 
the guest os.

Are these systems susceptible to certain attacks?  Do unpatched host systems in this configuration pose the same threat 
as an unpatched guest os?
